1
This is the layer we live on:
inner core
crust
outer core
mantle
2
What is happening in this video?
radiation
magnetics
convection currents
3
The CONTINENTAL crust is composed of mostly:
iron
granite
basalt
nickel
4
This sublayer of the mantle is the strong, hard, and rigid section of the upper mantle:
lithosphere
mesosphere
asthenosphere
5
The OCEANIC crust is made of mostly:
granite
copper
basalt
marshmallow fluff
6
Using seismic waves to determine what the interior of the Earth is made of is an example of:
indirect evidence
direct evidence
7
The inner core is:
liquid
gas
solid
plasma
8
This layer is the thickest (biggest).
inner core
crust
mantle
outer core
9
Which of Wegener's evidences is this?
The continents look like they would fit together.
Climate
Landforms
Puzzle-like fit
Plant and Animal Fossils
10
This is the name of the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago:
Panorama
Wegener
Pandora
Pangaea
11
This layer is the only liquid layer:
outer core
mantle
crust
inner core
12
The reason the inner core is SOLID is because:
the atoms are afraid, so they cling together
the pressure is so great, the matter cannot become liquid
it is very sticky so it forms a solid
13
Evidence of
Mesosaurus fossils
in Africa and South America.
Puzzle-like fit
Climate
Landforms
Plant/Animal fossils
14
Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift states:
dinosaurs died out because an asteroid collided with earth
the continents aren't moving
the continents were once all connected in a single landmass
the earth is slowly cooling and shrinking
15
This sublayer of the mantle includes the transition zone because it extends into the core:
lithosphere
mesosphere
asthenosphere
16
This sublayer of the mantle is the solid but bendable part of the mantle:
lithosphere
mesosphere
asthenosphere
17
The correct order of Earth's layers starting from the layer we live on:
mantle, outer core, inner core, crust
crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
crust, outer core, inner core, mantle
18
The land features on different continents line up;
mountain ranges
in South America and Africa.
Landforms
Puzzle-like fit
Climate
Plant/Animal Fossils
19
This layer moves to produce the Earth's magnetic field:
inner core
mantle
outer core
crust
20

tropical plants
have been found on an island in the
Arctic Ocean
